Hello! I was watching the financial news and they did a comparison bewtween the TREO 650 and another pda soon to hit the market. The reporter mentioned that palm will be coming out with a new treo w/ EVDO probably 2nd quarter of next year. so TREO will have broadband.

Apparently the 6050 chip doesn't have SD card support?!?! I found this to be odd and could be the deciding factor on whether there's a multi-chip implementation on the 650 that could actually make EV-DO possible on it.

So if Joe doesn't mind maybe he can get us some more "internal" information on what chip is controlling the SD expansion slot and further conclude the mystery of if the 650 can do EV-DO.

I'm kind of excited now

Furthermore what chip is controlling to 600 since chips ultimately determine what the device is capable of??

I'll see what i can do, I'll try to read all the info on the chip but the sd slot is on a different module so i'll see if there is anything on that.

The Qualcomm chipset doesn't handle the Palm part of the phone. That's what the Intel XScale is for. It does the I/O with the SD, USB, etc. Interestingly, the specs show that the 6050 doesn't do bluetooth, so I'm wondering how exactly the bluetooth headsets communicate with the phone?
